So, uh, hi. It's November. A quite a lot of it actually. And what can I say... not been that great of a month for me personally (never mind the rest of the world.) Still, I don't want to just give up on this, so finally here it is, my monthly list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita, and I'm on time this month again! As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

Anyway, on to this month's releases, we have a visual novel double bill from pQube with Root Letter, a small town mystery, and Steins;Gate 0, the sequel to the aclaimed time travel story Steins;Gate. Also so far we've seen tounge in cheeck clicker My Name is Mayo, top down shooter Wanted Corp, and retro side-scroller Volgarr the Viking (of Breaking Brad fame.)

Finally, Kodoku was cancled in originally annouced for and turned into a 3D game that's not coming to the Vita so I have removed it from the list. Also Level-5's Wonder Flick has shut down on mobile and seems pretty dead, so I've removed it as well.

October! "Games are coming out", and that very much includes ones for the Vita. Yes, I'm back with my monthly list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita, and I'm on time this month again! As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

And what do you know, it's the first of September, and I'm back again with my list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita - on time again no less. As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

Moving on to new game announcements, the western side was pretty sparse this month. Mostly like the not at all Undertale inspired Glitched, twin stick shooter Vostok inc, and a port of tower defense RPG Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten. Else visual novel publisher Sekai Project announced Narcissu 10th Anniversary Anthology.

Japan was more lively, with a confirmation of a Vita version of Valkyria Chronicles prequel Valkyria: Azure Revolution. Gust revealed not only Nights of Azure 2, but a new RPG called Blue Reflection. Nippon Ichi has another unconventional retro RPG in The Princess is Money-Hungry. There has also been talk that Konami will show off a Vita game called Drive Girls at Tokyo Game Show next week, though they are featuring games from independent "partners" (like Falcom) there so it isn't necessarily a Konami published title.

Else, in a bit of housekeeping I've removed indie action RPG Moon Hunters from the list. In spite of offering a Vita version as part of their Kickstarter, they've canceled it due to technical issues (which seems believable given that apparently even the PS4 version doesn't run smoothly.)

And, I'm done! Come back next month, oh, tons of stuff... Dragon Quest Builders, World of Final Fantasy, Neptunia vs Sega, Yomawari... Here's a trailer for the latter:

Much like Gal Gun... I am a bit late again. In part it was real life butting in, but in part it was also because a bit more new game announcements to dig through than one would expect. In any case here it is still, my list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita. As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

Anyway, to the August releases. Just out now is Gal Gun: Double Peace, slightly delayed from last month. It has a physical release, though I think you have to order it from the publisher. Coming in a more regular retail release is Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X, another in the series of vocaloid rhythm games. Not available at retail, but still "retail sized games" are Omega Force's Attack on Titan and Bamco's hunting game God Eater 2: Rage Burst. Indies Laser Disco Defenders and Alone With You are also expected.

Moving on to new title announcements, there were quite a few localization reveals. UK based Gal Gun and Steins;Gate publisher pQube confirmed they've gotten their hands on Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni, a 3D action game from the mind behind Senran Kagura featuring weaponized lesbians. XSeed continued their partnership with Falcom and is bringing over Tokyo Xanadu (and I should also mention they actually announced Fate/Stay night Warriors style hack and slash game Fate/Extella back in June, but I missed it.) Aksys has decided to bring over the enhanced rerelease of Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters with the subtitle Daybreak: Special Gigs, and is also going otome crazy with visual novels Bad Apple Wars, Collar X Malice, Period Cube: Torikago no Amadeus, and the Code Realize: Guardian of Rebirth fandisc Future Blessing (this are typically a collection of shorter side-stories and other bonus materials.) And finally, NISA is giving us The Longest 5 Minutes, a retro RPG about a hero who has been struck with amnesia... just as he's about to fight the final boss battle against the the evil overlord.

Indie-wise, Mighty Rabbit Studios, the good folks behind Limited Run Games (which does limited edition physical release of a number of indies on Vita) are porting their elephant stealth game Elephant in the Room, as well as their XBLIG puzzle game Cylinder. Twin stick shooter Blue Rider, rhythm game Musync, and narrative puzzle game WILL: A Wonderful World are also coming, and PlayStation Third Party productions apparently made a deal with SNK to port the classic fighting game Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Else, while I'm not sure if it's been officially confirmed, people have spotted trophies for indie horror game Claire, so watch out for that.

Meanwhile, in Japan.... Bamco gives us air combat, idols and mecha action with Macross Delta Scramble. D3 Publisher seemingly takes a stab at the Danganronpa audience with Idol Death Game TV, where aspiring idols put their lives on the line in a grim reality show. Compile Heart takes a stab at the free to play card game with Nep-Nep Connect: Chaos Chanpuru, drawing from all their current game series. And SystemSoft Alpha is back with more moe WWII antics in Moe Moe Niji Taisen 3 (or should that be My Little Hitler Can't Be This Cute!)

And I think we're finally done... Well, there is some "housekeeping" - the Vita versions of Elliot Quest and Crows: Burning Edge have officially been canceled and thus have been removed from the list. Come back next week for... a pretty packed line-up LoH: Trails of Cold Steel II, MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death, Psycho-Pass, Valkyrie Drive, etc.

So on Friday I faced a decision - write this blog post... or finish Zero Time Dilemma. In this timeline it would seem the latter won, so I'm afraid I'm late again. In any case here it is still, my list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita. As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

For new title announcements, Gaijinworks has revealed they're continuing the Summon Night SRPG franchise, bringing over Summon Night 6: Lost Borders. Meanwhile pQube grabbed another visual novel with Root Letter, NISA has claimed Touhou roguelike Touhou Genso Wanderer, Atlus have decided to bring over Furyu's budget Persona-like RPG Caligula, and Koei Tecmo has already confirmed their upcoming Warriors game based on the Berserk manga. Continuing to surprise, Bandai is localizing A.W.: Phoenix Festa - an action game based on the Asterisk War anime. There is also talk about the original Zero Escape game, 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, coming to new platforms, with the Vita being hinted as one of them.

Over in Japan, 5pb. confirmed Anonymous;Code, the next visual novel in their science adventure series, for the Vita. Also Artdink revived their venerable Age of Discovery exploration sim franchise with Neo Atlas 1469, and Kadokawa revealed that their previously announced Cthulhu mythos inspired DRPG currently only known as Project Code: Daten is being developed for the Vita.

Now if you'll excuse me, Ray Gigant is calling me. Come back next month for Attack on Titan:

We're a few days into June... and I'm late. Sorry about that. Still, like a lot of games on this list (of current and upcoming games for the PlayStation Vita) - better late than never, no? As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

We've entered May, so here's another edition of my list of current and upcoming games for the PlayStation Vita. Anyway, as usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

Finally a bit of housekeeping - I've removed Chronos Materia, the Gust developed JRPG annouced in 2013, as it has been confirmed that it is no longer in development. Also I noticed Wonder Flick was still there, which it probably shouldn't be since the mobile version was shut down and Level 5 seems to have moved on to other things.

And we're done. Come back next month when it looks like we have a full 6 retail-sized games to look forward to. Here's a trailer for one of them, tactical RPG Grand Kingdom:

It's April and here's another edition of my list of current and upcoming games for the PlayStation Vita. A few days late this time, sorry about that. Sometimes your cat decides to subtly hint that it's well past cuddle time by puking all over your bed, and things don't go as planned. Anyway, as usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

For new game announcements, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X coming out in English was the big one. Else, more indies like Laser Disco Defenders, 10 Second Ninja X, Quantum Suicide, Fallen Legion, and Best Buds vs. Bad Guys. English trophies for Spike Chunsoft's roguelike Mystery Chronicle have been spotted, which tends to imply a localization might be underway. In other news, the Broforce and Pier Solar ports have been canceled, and thus removed from the list.

It's March and here's another edition of my list of current and upcoming games for the PlayStation Vita. As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

And here's another edition of my list of current and upcoming games for the PlayStation Vita. As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

Else, the developer of Energy Hook cast some doubt whether the Vita version will end up happening, and the Rail Wars game was canceled, so I removed them.

And we're done. Next month should have been the gorgeous looking Stranger of Sword City, but sadly it has been delayed to April. So here's a video of city defense in Aegis of Earth, and Compile Heart's venture into NIS teritorry with Trillion:
